just got a sudden urge to blog out of my no-content mind

i'm quite certain everyone know of the saying " forgive and forget " or perhaps from in a more religious way, " love your enemies "

have you tried to forgive someone who did something bad to you
have you tried thinking what forgiveness is actually is

take a step back.
imagine you have done something wrong ( or u have actually done it ), and you're asking for forgiveness from the party you've hurt.
you feel the utmost desire of guilt, pain, and the utmost desire for repentance

now imagine yourself as someone who got hurt, and the person who hurt you is asking for forgiveness
you feel an air of suspicion, and unwillingness to forgive just like that.
the point is : just like that.

terrible difference? ask yourself.


now take it from another viewpoint.
you don't wanna forgive that person because you are still harbouring that hatred
that hatred that sparks anger in yourself
ask yourself: who else gets the hurt of anger when you're angry?
its only yourself.

its Pointless keeping the hatred, that sense of contempt or dislike.
its your own heart that takes the deep impact

you may ask : why must i forgive and let him go Just Like That
then here's your answer:
you have no right to be forgiven, until you forgive the people you have yet to forgive.

if you can't forgive people, you have no authority to ask people to forgive you, or of cuz, God won't forgive you.


so, you are going to forgive people you hate, for the sake of getting the chance to be forgiven in any situation?
now take many steps back, and ask what's Forgiveness.

here's an example:
A: hey B, you know, i'm really sorry for treating you so bad for the past few months
B: errrr. you know. its ok. you are forgiven.

thats forgiveness?
ask me, and i'll say no.

don't think of forgiveness as forgiveness.
from now on, think forgiveness as Total Forgiveness

Total Forgiveness is when you forgive a party the same proportion as how you want people or God to forgive you, and at the same time, hope for the best for that party, hope that he/she will do well in life, asking God to bless him/her.
that's forgiveness.

you want to give, from your heart, the best wishes to the person you're forgiving. the person who has brought you trouble in negative ways.


whoever person you've been bearing a grudge on
forgive that person through the true meaning of forgiveness

your heart will feel lighter, you will be happier
